ABRAHAM SACKS, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK. i

TASSEL.

Application led December To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM SAcKs, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Iniproved Tassel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in the manufacture of tassels and itpertains more particularly to tassels formed from silk strands and used for ornaments for personal wear.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a new and improved form of tassel head.

It is a further object of the invention to provide new and improved means for nishing a tassel head.

It is a still further object ofthe invention to provide a finishing means for tassel heads which iinishing means may be removed when desired for the purpose of repairing the tassel.

l/Vith the above and other objects in view, referencev is had to the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure l is a sectional view of a tassel constructed in accordance with the present invention, and f Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of the finishy ing means employed.

In the drawings, a mold 6 is provided with an enlarged head 2O and an elongated neck portion 2l. A longitudinal passage ll extends entirely through the mold and a cord l5 is adapted to be passed through the mold and knotted as indicated by the reference character 16.

3, 1921. Serial No. 519,644.

The bunch 5 has its upper portionv contracted by the cord l() and the mold 6 is entirely enclosed within the tassel bunch.

After this has been done a coil 25 is passed over the neck portion of the mold 6 and the tassel is compressed by said coil against said neck portion, the lower end of the coil ter# minating at a point adjacent the enlarged head 20 of the mold.

When it is desired to repair the tassel it is Aonly necessary to remove the coil 25 bysliding the same over the cord 15 at which time the mold 6 together with the cord l5 will be capable of removal from the tassel bunch 5.

From the foregoing it will be apparent that the present invention provides a new and novel tassel which may be readily assembled or disassembled without injury to the several parts thereof.

Furthermore manner the finish for the mold is not glued thereto as is the common practice but is in tassels formed in this made bodily removable thereby greatly adding to Vthe life and durability of the tassel.'

I claimt ln a tassel, a mold provided with a longi-` tudinal passage, an attaching cord passing y,

through said longitudinal passage and secured therein, a tassel bunch carried by the mold `and having its upper end contracted around the cord passed through the` tassel mold and a finish in the form of a coiled resilient member adapted to be passed over the mold and into engagement with the tassel bunch to cause the same to frictionally engage the tassel mold, said linish being bodn ily removable from the mold.
